摘要
本論文旨在探討台灣Cosplay的現況，以實際參加Cosplay相關活動進行Cosplay的相關分析，以半結構式訪談，訪問Cosplayer、道具師、化妝師、一般民眾、場次主辦者、動漫迷為研究對象，藉由報章雜誌以及新聞報導分析台灣Cospaly的種種現況。 本論文的構成如下，首先在先行研究，整理出目前文獻Cosplay的相關定義以及文化發展。第二章探討由迷文化發展到Cosplay次文化的發展過程以及再次確認Cosplay的定義。第三章以台灣為中心，整理出台灣Cosplay的發展史以及探討台灣Cosplayer的動機、精神層面，以及調查台灣Cosplay的相關禮儀。第四章藉由訪談找出現今在台灣Cosplay的潛規則、黑板文化的接受度，以及探討反小模現象。第五章則以調查台灣目前對於Cosplay的歧視以及證照、政策等相關問題。第六章則以調查Cosplyer再進行Cosplay三階段的時候，能夠學習到甚麼樣的日本文化。 根據本論文的分析結果，目前在文獻上，Cosplay的定義為根據文本進行模仿，但穿衣風格包含在Cosplay內。Cosplay的起源在於迷重複閱讀文本，吸取新的資料並且創造，在同一時空間展演出複數的文本。Cosplay的定義再確認為根據文本內容進行模仿，然而，模仿的對象必須有很明顯的指涉對象。 台灣Cosplay的動機大部分為喜歡某個作品，然而Cosplay會提升信心、降低壓力的效果，但卻不會迷失在文本的世界裡。 台灣Cosplay的潛規則目前最低程度必須要有粉底、眉筆、眼線等等，必須要對作品有一定程度的了解，若是違反潛規則，將會被放在黑板公審處置。 根據Cosplayer、一般民眾、動漫迷的訪談，目前大眾對於Cosplay的歧視大多以色情、不務正業、太有特色的服裝、浪費錢為主。然而證照以及政策的必要性，對於Cosplayer來說是不需要的。 Cosplyer再進行Cosplay三階段的時候（準備前、進行中、結束），準備前大多以原作品的相關資料為主、進行中的時候大多以實際體驗為主、結束時則以檢討、獲取經驗為主。然而Cosplyer並不會為了Cosplay特地去學習日文。 本論文為多方面探討Cosplay的相關議題，然而、台灣並不是只有本論的相關議題，今後的課題為，Cosplay在法律面的部份、政府的態度等等。

This thesis aims to explore current cosplay activities that take place in Taiwan. The research is conducted by interviewing cosplayers, costume makers, audiences, event hosts, and animation fans so as to understand in depth about Taiwanese cosplay culture. The first chapter includes literature review and definition of cosplay related terms as well as its importance in cultural development. Chapter two investigates the process of cosplay subculture derived from fan culture so as to rein confirm the definition of cosplay. The third chapter focuses the history of cosplay development in Taiwan, discussing the motivation, psychological perspective, and relevant cosplay etiquettes. The forth chapter attempts to discover the unspoken rules of cosplay, the acceptance level of blackboard culture, and anti-mini-model phenomenon. The fifth chapter examines discrimination situation, cosplay certificates, and current policies related to cosplay development in Taiwan. The sixth chapter looks into how Taiwanese cosplay activities are related to Japanese culture. The analysis of this thesis suggests that the origin of cosplay begins from the repeated context reading and grows by absorbing new materials to create new elements in culture, which at the same time displays multiple reproduction of cultural contexts. The definition and reconfirmation of cosplay copy and intimate the context, but the imitated objects contain obvious referential elements. The motivation of Taiwanese cosplay results from the preference of certain art works. On the other hand, cosplay increases confidence, reduces pressure, avoiding getting lost in the contexts. Unspoken rules of Taiwanese cosplay regulate the minimum prerequisite of facial foundation, eyebrows painting, and a display of eye-lining. The understanding towards the original work is a must. The violation against the rules lead to public penalties on the blackboard. The interviews in this research reveals that the major discrimination against cosplay includes pornographically images, indecent minds, weird costumes and waste of financial resources. The preparation stage of cosplay acts focuses on the understanding of the original work. The acting stage mainly concentrates on gaining actual experiences. And the ending stage of a cosplay act lies upon the reflection of such exhibitive act. The cosplayers do not necessarily learn Japanese for the sake of cosplay activities. The future studies include the perspective of law in relation to cosplay activities in Taiwan as well as Taiwanese government attitude towards cosplay.
